Sometimes, you just get the sense that you are going to have a great day.

Thats what Central Kitsaps No. 1 golfer JD Rastovski felt after he knocked in an eagle on the first hole of a match against Bremerton High School Tuesday afternoon at Gold Mountain Golf Course.

Thats the first eagle Ive gotten in a tournament, the freshman said after his match.

It was actually a round of many firsts for Rastovski. His final score on the Cascade Course was 2-under-par 69, the first time he had ever shot below 70 in a competition.

He also helped the Cougars (3-2 league, 5-2 overall) to the highest point total they have gotten all season with 141 points against Bremertons (3-4, 4-4) 114.

On the girls side of things, CKs No. 1 girl Kim Sisley knocked home a first place finish. She pulled in a very respectable 2-over par after nine holes.

Weve had two consistent scorers this year in Kim and Vangie Robbins, CK girls coach Murray Webb said.

They are both year-round golfers. Theyve played the game since they were young and they are both good ball strikers.

Vangie Robbins earned 26 points to help CK (5-1) gain 110 points over Bremertons 51 (1-5) on the girls side of things.

The loss on the boys side was very evident on the faces of Bremertons No. 1 and No. 2 golfers William Wallace and Ryan Hinrichson, both seniors.

Ive never lost by so many strokes in my life, Wallace fumed after the final hole. I am angry because I shot an 80 on my home course. I was putting pretty decent today, but I couldnt hit any greens today.

Wallace was surprised by the CK freshmans performance.

He had the round of his life today, he said.

Hinrichson talked about a putt that Rastovski hit on the ninth hole.

He made a putt that broke seven feet and trickled in, he said.

Hinrichson himself hit a monster putt on the third hole, about 35 feet for a birdie and finished with an 84.

I couldnt hit a tee shot today, he said. I missed so many fairways. If you miss the fairways you cant hit the greens.

Im a little disappointed in the score of my boys today, BHS coach Chuck Huhta said. I really thought going in we could beat these guys. But sometimes you get here and you dont have it.

For the girls, Bremertons No. 4 golfer Aneshia Savard said that her team had trouble calming down on their home course. They were actually playing a dual match against both Central Kitsap and Gig Harbor. The undefeated Tides edged CK 112-110.

I think we were all a little tense. Central Kitsap and Gig Harbor are really good schools, said Savard.

It was neat to compete against girls at the top of the league and see what kind of skills you need to get to that level, BHS girls coach Jeff Streck said.
